This “Where in the ADK?” challenge takes us to the Southern Adirondack Woodlands’ jewel box of a museum, which has an incredible collection of European and American Art spanning centuries.
One of Northeast America’s outstanding boutique art museums is right in the Adirondack Park.
A prominent Southern Adirondacks family, whose wealth came from lumber and paper milling, spent their lives collecting art and amassing a treasure trove of masterpieces. They stipulated that their estate, including their home, be turned into a museum to benefit the region.
